"The Barista is In" --A book about Starbucks by Dairy Martin (Dairy is a partner in Ohio). @Star…

I will admit, up until recently, I was baffled by what the “drive-thru experience” might be. For a long while, I had an old car – made in 1993, the electrical was shot in it. Because of this, the driver’s side window didn’t roll down. I was far too embarrassed to actually use the drive-thru because this would mean that I would have to open my driver’s side door to be able to pay for a beverage, and actually get the beverage from a barista. To say nothing of the problems with ordering like this. So, I simply refused to use the drive-thru. Then finally, June 2013, a new car came into my life. Me and my Honda Fit began to use the drive-thru now and then. Not that often. And usually only the Elliott Drive Thru Store . Now I get it. I can see that there can be a drive-thru Starbucks experience. It’s really quite fun.
